Recreating Childhood Memories at the Piano!
Absolutely love this 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' collection! Playing Vince Guaraldi's iconic jazz pieces, especially 'Christmas Time Is Here,' is pure joy. As an adult learner, the SMP Level 7 (Late Intermediate) difficulty is a fun challenge, making me feel like I'm really 'sounding like the record.' The Peanuts illustrations add a nice touch. Perfect for relaxing and getting into the holiday spirit!

Solid Christmas Gig Book
This Vince Guaraldi collection is a go-to for holiday gigs. The arrangements are faithful to the 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' soundtrack, making them instantly recognizable. Chord names are clearly provided, which is essential for quick adaptations or improvisation on the fly. At 40 pages, you'll need to plan page turns, but it's otherwise perfectly usable for events and requests. A reliable choice.

Excellent Resource for Jazz Harmony & Style
While primarily a piano solo collection, this Vince Guaraldi book is an invaluable resource for any collaborative pianist or vocal coach interested in jazz styling. The arrangements are full, presenting the melody within a rich piano texture, which is great for understanding the harmony and iconic voicings. Although not a vocal score, it provides a fantastic basis for instrumental breaks or adapting accompaniment to a singer's range and style.

Excellent for Late Intermediate Students!
This collection is superb for students at an SMP Level 7 (Late Intermediate). The arrangements of Vince Guaraldi's classics, like 'Linus and Lucy,' provide great rhythmic challenges and reinforce jazz phrasing. The engraving quality is clear, aiding sight-reading, and while some sections feature 4-5 note chords and octaves, it's a rewarding book for developing expressive playing. Highly recommend for holiday repertoire!

Charlie Brown Christmas
An accurate transcription of Vince Guaraldi's original work. We used it for our children's Christmas pageant & it worked well.

Charlie Brown Christmas
Very accurate for late intermediate level. My son's teacher lent him the book and we loved it so much I order him his own.

A must for Peanuts fans
This collection is a MUST for all pianists who are fans of Charlie Brown Christmas and all the Peanuts gang! The arrangements stay true to the show. Unless you are an accomplished jazz pianist, don't expect to sit down and play without some practicing. A nice challenge for non-jazz musicians.

Fun Christmas book!
My intermediate/more advanced students have really enjoyed these arrangements. Some of the jazzy sections are quite challenging but the option is there to skip them.
